Ind/Philly

Pacers Get
Andrea Iguodala

76ers Get
Tyler Hansbrough
Brandon Rush
1st round pick

Philly has been shopping Iggy. Last year & beginning of this year. He is probably available now as well, because:
a) He didn't show up to a meeting with team officials
b) After losing to Miami, Iguodala responded to a question about whether he expected to be back with the Sixers by saying, “I expect to be back in the NBA. It’s always been a dream of mine to play ball. This has been a great ride so far, not just with the Sixers, but playing basketball in general."

Re: Ind/Philly

Philly indeed would say no. I like Tyler just as much as the next person, but for people to not want to trade because you love him so much, and to receive Iggy in return is a steal. The production between the two is night and day.

Re: Ind/Philly

When you trade for a guy like Iggy you don't give equal value. You give cap relief, young players, and a pick. Look at the Gerald Wallace trade for example, no equal value was given. I believe Philly agrees.
The thing about Philly is that they're overall in the same status as us, but we have lots & lots of cap space so we can still add more pieces, While in their case they might not even be able to resign some of their players (like Young) For that reason I believe they might take this.
